Layers to Pare

Alone,
Beyond compare;

Single,

No one to care.

Contented?

Then why this fair?

Conflicted,

Angry, envious, scared.

Why

Any reason, you aware?

Amusing,

A laugh you don't share?

Losing,

What was there;

Seeking,

What was theirs.

Centering

A simple fare;

Difficult,

Only a few dare.

Dream,

It's like a nightmare;

Variety,

Meant only to ensnare.

Pain,

No one you spare;

Whittling,

Many layers to pare.

Awakening

Walk into the glare.

Liberation,

Shred it all bare.
